I’ve borrowed one on a few occasions from a relative and they are surprisingly nice. The height makes for good leg room in the back and they can fit more than a sedan. The driving experience is like that of a regular car. Not particularly quick but the electric torque makes them feel reasonably responsive. The control design is really poor though and forces you to take your eyes off the road. But in a few hundred miles of driving I averaged about 49mpg. Would have been nice to have that sort of mileage during this fuel crisis. In NC gas is still over $3.50

Looks like even Toyota is capable of shooting itself in the foot.

Here's your opportunity, US auto industry...

I guess most of the people who are in shock about the US economy would have a hard time finding anything they own that is made in the US.

I wonder where the car companies are going to get all the rare earth metals required for the batteries, motors, and even glass used in those newfangled cars?
